Disc size gray provisioned

I have a virtual SCSI drive to a Windows 2008 64 bit guest.  I recently ran out of disc size and need to increase it.  For help online, apparantely I can increase the size even while the virtual machine is running.  However, if current runtime, suspended, or stop, I'm not able to increase the size of the disk.  The option is grayed out, as you can see below.  What Miss me?

Thank you!

Just see the - 000 in the disk name suggests you have an existing snapshot. You can develop with a snapshot. You must first remove the snapshot.

  • Ready NAS NV + - different disc size

    Hello

    I have a ReadyNAS NV + and failed drive and have to by a new one.
    Is it possible to increase the size on a single disc.
    Today, its 4 * 1 TB disks and I want to change a 2 TB drive (for the future to replace the other 3 for the greater)
    The RAID will accept the largest disk and rebuild still or is it going to fail because I need same size on all drives?

    (The old ST31000528AS 1 TB drive has 32 MB of cache and the new 2 TB ST2000NM0033 128 MB of Cache memory)

    Thank you very much for the support!

    She will accept the player, but you will get no expansion replace just one of the disks.

    If it's the v1, then you need to replace all four drives (one at a time of course) for expansion.

    If this is the v2 only two drives will be replaced to get the expansion.

    Note that the 2 TB drives are the maximum capacity supported by the v1.

  • Change the page size - grayed out of boxes

    I'm changing the page size of the pages within a document. Apparently, you're supposed to select the pages in the Pages panel and then change the height and width of the Panel settings. My height and width boxes are grayed out. What have I done wrong?

  • Larger than the size of provisioned storage disk space

    I use vSphere 4.1.0. I have a Windows Server 2003 guest that I put in service for two hard disks of 80 GB and 250 GB, both thick. When I look at the settings, this is what I see. However, looking at the summary comments that it is said ' provisioned storage: 652 GB "and which seems to be what is used on the physical disk. Any ideas on what is happening here?

    As you can see on the screenshot you have 4 files of virtual disks (hard). Two of them are basic disks (those without "-000001" in their names) and the other two are instant. Given that the provisioned size is empty for basic virtual disks, presumably they are thick save provisioned and is to delete the snapshots in snapshot Manager. Just create a new snapshot (to activate the button 'Clear all') and then click on 'Delete All' which will consolidate the existing snapshots, regardless of whether or not they appear in the Snapshot Manager.

  • Fine size virtual provisioned

    If I thin provision my servers VM how to know how much space could potentially be consumed if all the thin servers filled to capacity.

    Example: I thin set up a server to 100 GB, but used only 12 GB provisioning on the data store. Theoretically, somewhere on the road this virtual machine might use all the 100 GB.

  • ASM diskgroup with different disc size

    Hello

    DB: 10.2.0.4
    Operating system: AIX 5.3 64-bit L

    I have installation on 10g RAC ASM with node 2. It has the only Eve on ASM.

    Total DB size is 250 GB.
    Total size of FRA is 700 GB.

    My FRA diskgroup to archivelog (also holds multiplex controlfile) each size of 50 GB drive. Even if I set the retention period for 1 day, backup to disk, rman getting failed, due to space issues. So I manually delete obsolete data report and rerun backup.

    I want to add the workspace to FRA diskgroup regarding adding disks to FRA diskgroup. But, I have 100 GB drives available , it's not the same waist size of current existing FRA disc (50 GB).

    Here's my question

    (1) that I can Add the size different to the same diskgroup disc ?. If I add, are there performance problems?
    My all data files are out of FRA diskgroup and there are someother diskgroup.

    (2) if FRA diskgroup 50 GB and 100 GB of disks, and then how the archivelog and backup data will be erased?
    Will the data stored up to 50 GB in all disks in FRA, even * 100 GB * disc is?.

    (3) while doing recovery with different size of disk at diskgroup, what kind of problems can I face in performance wise?

    (4) can I remove any diskgroup 50 GB disks and add the 100 GB drive, so that I can increase the size of the disk in the same diskgroup?. I'll remove it and add at the same time.

    (5) add disks redundant external diskgroup , I'm ok with the following query?

    ALTER DISKGROUP FRA add DRIVE ' </dev/rhdsk1 >', </dev/rhdsk2 > ', </dev/rhdsk3 > ';


    Please help me on my doubts above.

    Thank you and best regards,
    Therese

    Hi Sunand,

    (1) can I add different diskgroup disc even size?. If I add, are there performance problems?
    My all data files are out of FRA diskgroup and there are someother diskgroup.

    A minimum of four (Oracle ASM disks) LUNS of equal size and performance is recommended for each disk group

    (2) if FRA diskgroup 50 GB and 100 GB of disks, and then how the archivelog and backup data will be erased?
    Data are saved up to 50 GB in all disks of FRA, same 100 GB drive is it?

    Oracle ASM data distribution policy is based on the ability. Ensure that the Oracle ASM disks in a disk group have the same ability to maintain balance.

    (3) while doing recovery with different size of disk at diskgroup, what kind of problems can I face in performance wise?

    Ensure that all Oracle ASM disks in a disk group have similar performance characteristics and the availability of storage. In configurations of storage with dimmers of mixed speed, for example, 10 K and 15 K rpm, i/o performance is limited by the slow speed control.

    (4) can I remove any diskgroup 50 GB disks and add the 100 GB drive, so that I can increase the size of the disk in the same diskgroup?. I'll remove it and add at the same time.

    Yes. First, you add the 100 GB drive and then remove the drives from 50 GB.

    (5) to add disks to external redundancy diskgroup, I'm ok with the following query?
    ALTER DISKGROUP FRA ADD DRIVE ",", ";

    Redundancy is controlled by the diskgroup. Then simply add the disks.

    e.g ALTER DISKGROUP FRA ADD DISK '/dev/rhdsk1', '/dev/rhdsk2', '/dev/rhdsk3';

  • Blue Ray disc size is wrong

    Hi all and thanks in advance for your help.

    I have a project that has a duration of 5 hours Conference.  It consists of 5 sessions of 1 hour (time), credits and biographies.  When I use Ecore CS5 to create an ISO image of the double-layer DVD, it works as expected.  When I take the same project and attempt to create a picture ISO of BlueRay, it creates an ISO 37 GB file.  Single record BlueRay layer as those I'm trying to use have a capacity of 25 GB.  I need a burner double layer as well as the whites of double disc sets BlueRay do 37 GBs.

    Yet he acknowledges the limit of 25 GB of the disk, but creates a 37 GB file anyway.  Set this option to create an ISO of the correct size file is anyway?

    * When I try to burn directly to disc it fails.

    Thank you

    Glad to know that you are on the right track now.

  • Cannot create disc size

    Running esx 5.5 with camera 5.5 vshpere and san VNX5400

    On a site that I created a 19 TB Lun and datastore I then added a second disc of 17TB to a guest of 2012r2 victory without problem (this comment was created in version 5.5)

    However when I try to do the same thing on the second site it only allow me to have a disk of 16 TB (guest was created when the host was still v5.1)

    I get an "insufficient disk space" message in the list of events.

    The OS and virtual machine disk are located on a different data store.

    Any ideas?

    You upgrade your VM hardware version and also your VMFS datastore?

    In my view, it relates to your VM configurations because vSphere 5.1 supports 2 TB VMDK and if your VM still using version 9 hardware, it can support improvements VMDK on vSphere 5.5.

  • VMware 5.1 disc size

    VM Guru,

    One of my virtual computer guests will have a hard drive about 5 TB in size.  The HD will host large files of imagery.  What is the best method (recommended) to accomplish this task? and why?

    (1) iSCSI through the guest VM to the LUN
    (2) RDM
    (3) or is there another way?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Actually, you named the possible option which are currently available. Use guest physical RDM or iSCSI. Method you choose is yours. Personally, I would probably choose the option of RDM to remove the complexity of the guest OS for example the paths ESXi host multiple abilities.

  • Thin provision NFS works only for instant VMDK

    Hi guys,.

    We have a host of ESXi 4.1 using NFS as a storage device. NFS is provided by the platform, Bluearc Mercury.

    Whenever I create a new virtual machine, for Thin Provisioning option is checked but also gray outside. There is a line saying:

    "Actual allocation policy will be determined by the NFS server.

    I'll check the newly created VMDK and it's a thick disk, it consumes as much disk space I put for the disc size.

    So, it makes me believe that the Bluearc Mercury does not support provisioning.

    The strange thing happens after that I did a snapshot, another VMDK as server - 0001.vmdk was created, and it's the thin disk.

    Someone at - it the similar problem?

    Kind regards

    Derrick

    Showmanlkz,

    On the BlueArc server, file systems are provisioned files, thin as VMDK files are created as "fragmented files".  Just a slight difference in terminology, but the effect is what you're looking for in what concerns the commissioning only the disk blocks that are actually used (thin provisioning).

    If you have created a 10 GB VMDK file, but have only 5 GB of data on the inside, only pointers to these 5 GB of data blocks will be created.  Us will not pointers to blocks of empty data.  Standard orders will make reference to the metadata VMDK structure and will report on the 10 GB file.  In order for a command 'df' to show the use of real drive (5 GB), rather than the allocated size (10 GB), you must enable the "true fragmented file" mode.  Contact the BlueArc TAC for the real run command.

    Snapshots are a completely different beast.  By default, they are only pointers to a point static instant copy.  However, if you use our new feature JetClone to create clones in entry level file, these files will be also thin provisioned, only as the clone diverges in content data from the original VM has been created between more and more.

  • Cannot extend imported bootcamp windows 10 disc

    I imported my instance of windows 10 bootcamp partition in VMWare Fusion 8.1 because I want to start running it practically, but when I created the partition boot camp of origin I did hilarious small (40 GB). I need to resize on the rise... but... the disc size already reports that this is the size of my Mac drive and it wont let me not reduce it from the interface of VMWare - it will only allow me to extend upward.

    Screenshot 2016-02-19 08.30.53.png

    Screenshot 2016-02-19 08.32.01.png

    Instructions say open the virtual machine itself and expand the partition... but this option is grayed out when I right click on the drive in windows 10, perhaps because it seems that it is to see the other drives on the hard drive to the mac (but this is an instance of boot camp imported , does not not out of boot camp).

    Screenshot 2016-02-19 08.36.25.png

    I found an article intended for XP users who suggest to delete the virtual machine mac partition but this idea frankly gives me the willies directionless some more recent.

    Any ideas what to try? I'm having a devil of a time finding useful documents...

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    It is not a stupid question.

    If you import the virtual machine that you mentioned your disc looks like always on when it is running under bootcamp.

    So your virtual disk is exactly the same as the before done physical disk structure. I don't know why VMware engineers went this way, but my best guess would be that it makes the import/clone of a virtual machine that is less prone to error.

    I don't have the exact steps to make sure that the disk you are using is indeed not a bootcamped score more. If you have removed the bootcamp on your machine and may still start the virtual machine then that would be a good indicator that it is indeed an imported VM. Other signs are the size that the virtual machine is on your machine. If running as a training camp for the size is tiny as the virtual machine should only have meta data pointing to the real disk.

    Before you do anything, make a backup of your virtual machine on an external drive, so that you have something to fall back on.

    FWIW, other people had the same problem, for example here, size of HARD drive on the Conversion of Bootcamp at VM , but if you're looking for there's more.
